About our shower tray repair in Chickney
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chickney
For anyone letting property in or around Chickney, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Chickney
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
